In this month’s issue, we feature three of our recent Chapter leaders from Colombia, France and USA and how their commitment as a WYA member fueled their initiative to pay it forward and lead a WYA Chapter in their country. Open a WYA Chapter today.

WYA members are invited to apply to the third batch of the 2016 WYA Global Internship Program in New York City from September-December. The program provides opportunities for selected individuals who are passionate in upholding the ideals of WYA to learn and develop a deeper understanding of the human person, manage projects that reflect the organization’s advocacy, and represent WYA in various occasions and events.

Give WYA a gift today. Your contribution helps us continue to build a better world.
